- Hey, y'all it's Jamie Deen back in the chicken box,
0:02
and today we're gonna be sharing recipes that are healthy
0:06
and really geared towards your kids.
0:08
Who doesn't love smoothies?
0:10
And you talk about easy.
0:12
This has been a way that Brooke and I
0:13
have snuck in a lot of nutrients for our kids
0:16
when they were really younger.
0:18
We get it through their smoothies,
0:19
whether like today we're gonna use mixed berries,
0:22
we have yogurt, we're using fresh bananas,
0:24
apple juice, I've got some ice.
0:26
Brooke's favorite trick that she would always use.
0:29
Whatever smoothie she was making,
0:30
she would always drop spinach in,
0:32
and that's a good way for your children
0:34
to get their iron through spinach.
0:36
It turns it green, but you can't even really taste it.
0:38
But that's a recipe for another day.
0:40
Today we're doing my son Jack's favorite,
0:43
and all you need is some frozen mixed berries.
0:46
We've got blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries.
0:50
I've got one cup of apple juice
0:57
just maybe a quarter of a cup of this yogurt.
1:00
Forgive me for squeezing it out.
1:03
I'm in actually two restaurants
1:05
that don't have a spoon, which is typical.
1:10
Now we're gonna put our banana in.
1:14
I'm gonna go in about half of this banana, I guess.
1:19
And if you have kids that are working out, I'll tell you,
1:21
a peanut butter banana smoothie is a great way to help
1:25
after their workouts or before their workouts.
1:28
And now to this, lastly,
1:29
I'm gonna add just a little bit of ice.
1:32
Mom's recipe doesn't call for ice, but I really would.
1:38
This mixer is a little loud.
1:45
All right, y'all, let's see what we got.
1:51
- [Brooke] Let me get in there and look at it.
1:54
Okay, so this was always Jack's favorite,
1:57
and he still eats pints and pints of fresh berries
2:00
that we bring home every day.
2:02
It's funny, that his favorite food
2:04
that he had when he was younger
2:05
has remained his favorite food,
2:06
and it's always been fruits and smoothies.
2:10
So this berry smoothie was always Jack's favorite.
2:12
Another good smoothie for y'all
2:15
is if you have a child like our middle son
2:16
that's starting to be heavy in physical fitness,
2:20
he wants to lift weights.
2:21
He wants to be big and strong.
2:23
You can make your smoothies with a little bit of spinach.
2:26
You can get some iron in there.
2:27
I love to add peanut butter and banana,
2:30
and a little bit of chocolate drizzle.
2:32
You can make a smoothie into a dessert.
2:35
There's lots of different things
2:36
you could do with a smoothie.
2:37
Jack's favorite, the berry.
2:43
This is perfect to serve with your breakfast,
2:44
a little bit of toast or a little yogurt with this.
2:46
It's packed full of all the good things for you.
2:49
Your kids will love it, and they'll love you for making it.
2:53
It's a good smoothie.
2:54
I'll see y'all around the kitchen, thank y'all.
